Surely this cannot be true. I guess he is versatile in his defence, equally shite on the wing, wing back and full back
The end of Maffeo if this is the case.
I've mentioned this before but, because Pep's requirements are so physically rigorous and demanding, I always feel that we ought to have four full-backs as an ideal. This would allow them to be regularly rotated to avoid burn out so I wonder if Pep sees Navas as a short-term, cheap (in a financial sense) option to bring this about.
As you say though, ostensibly this doesn't seem to bode too well for Maffeo's prospects.
I am ok with this.
Navas is a very limited player, but we cannot really say he does not give his all for the club. I always liked him, I prefer a player like him, rather than a lazy one.We are not going to buy 4 wingbacks, that is for sure. My two cents, we are going to buy just two + Clichy or Kolarov will sign a new contract.
Sadly our youth policy is worse than with Pellers and Maffeo, Tosin, Ian and Gunn need to leave if they want to grow as footballers.
